from Falcon's Flight #2 -- Ellen Blair, the editor of the zine, wrote in it: "Amy Falkowitz's magnificent title page illo for "The Sky Warriors" was sent to me as a sort of loan before she was asked to illustrate "Warriors, " ergo, the light sabres in the hands of the Skreels who do not use them in the story,.. and thereby hangs a tale. Completely independent of each other. Amy and I each imagined and wrote about a race of alien beings who are uncannily similar. Amy's bird-people are much more intelligent than my Skreels, but the name of her hero character is "Kreel. " Interesting, no? In actual fact. Amy's illo shows her creatures, not mine. But her creatures were so exactly like what I had imagined mine to be, minus the light sabres, that I asked her if I could use her work as a title page. Obviously she said "yes" and as a result, you are being treated to the evidence of a rare coincidence: two writers who did not collaborate and yet managed to create almost exactly the same thing."

  1. ^ Falkowitz commented on this story in 1979 in Southern Star #5: "By many definitions, ECHOES is a Mary Sue. Now, I don't mean that as a put-down; heaven knows, I've written one myself, and ECHOES is in general better than my ghod-awful "Rift Crossing"."
